Either I'm counting on me fingers wrong or that means it's coming out on Halloween...cool! :)

Looks like I'll have time to build a system that can run it, hopefully I'll be able to afford to before it comes out. ;)

I think I'll be investing in a new system before that time anyway. This A7M is getting on my nerves....:rolleyes:

I knew it! I knew it would come out on some day like that. It wouldn't make sense to come out in summer. Plus we'll get a better game by then anyways! I'm really looking forward to Doom III and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

yea me too.. carmack was promising before e3 :(

he never said he promised, he stated that he does not want to show it at multiple E3's. Anyways, he won't be showing it this time on E3, it'll most likely stay out of sight, but never out of mind and it'll be revealed when it's done.

I'll build a new PC after Doom III comes out. That way I'll be sure what it requires. ;)

who actually believed it would be out in 2002 or the beginning of 2003?

actually, i still remember when someone called me an idiot for not believing it would be out for Christmas 2002....forgot who said that though. i still don't know where the hell he got that idea though.

last year at E3, there was a giant poster saying "Doom III - coming 2003" and after ATI leaked the alpha id software said they might have to delay development for up to 6 months. I say it'll be out late 2003. We should all be playing this game, or trying to get it to run by christmas. I'm curious if anyone knows when the original Doom was released.

1993! :p
I have Doom1 in 5ľ diskettes, and that drive is disconnected now. I checked the demo, and doom.exe is dated 12-16-1993.

Thanks to that damn alpha Doom3 was brushed under the rug. Now we lost all hope for more movies, demos, and screenshots.

BTW, I will pay cash bucks for any of the dooms on the original disks. Just drop me a line. doinkybottoms@aol.com
